It is a narrow trail and difficult to pass people so if you see other hikers returning from the end of Buckhorn, it is a good idea to wait.\u00a0 At the end of the Buckhorn trail is a good view point with an interesting rock formation. Return to the trail junction to access the Golden Wall trail.\u00a0 The Golden Wall trail decends from the Buckhorn ridge and winds its way through nice rock formations and view points.<\/p>\n<p>After 2.5 miles, the trail reaches the Castle Bridge trail.\u00a0 You can descend either way as the Castle Bridge trail exits back onto the Golden Wall trail.\u00a0 From here it is another 1.5 miles to the end of the Golden Wall trail and the paved bike path.\u00a0 Turn right on the bike path for a short walk back to the visitor center.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe id=\"mapmyfitness_route\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapmyrun.com\/routes\/view\/embedded\/5591747008?width=600&amp;height=376&amp;elevation=true&amp;info=true&amp;line_color=E61900DC&amp;rgbhex=DC0019&amp;distance_markers=0&amp;unit_type=imperial&amp;map_mode=TERRAIN&amp;show_marker_every=1&amp;last_updated=2023-06-19T01:13:23+00:00\" width=\"100%\" height=\"679px\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"jss3873\" id=\"embed-frame-footer\">\n<p><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mapmyrun.com\/routes\/view\/5591747008\" class=\"jss3874\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root jss3875 MuiTypography-body1\" string=\"View Route Details\">View Route Details<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jss3876\">\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root jss3877 jss3898 MuiTypography-body1\">Create routes or search for a route at\u00a0<span><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mapmyrun.com\/\" string=\"MapMyRun.\" class=\"jss3875\">MapMyRun.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This loop starts from the Red Canyon visitor center.\u00a0 Cross route 12 onto a paved bike path.\u00a0 This loop can be hiked in either direction.\u00a0 This trip is done clockwise.\u00a0 Turn left on the bike path and follow into the Red Canyon campground.\u00a0 Follow the road in the campground to the top level until you [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7693","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-united-states"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelotusadventures.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7693","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelotusadventures.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelotusadventures.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelotusadventures.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelotusadventures.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7693"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/bluelotusadventures.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7693\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7700,"href":"https:\/\/bluelotusadventures.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7693\/revisions\/7700"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelotusadventures.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelotusadventures.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelotusadventures.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
